You can still buy lead solder from UK suppliers[^] - I buy it because the non-lead stuff is crap!

It's a bit harder to work with - it needs a higher temperature, which can cause problems - and it doesn't mix with existing leaded solder for "touch up" jobs, and it wears through tips a lot faster. But once you are used to it, it's pretty good if you buy the "good stuff" instead of the cheap rubbish.

The issue we find is the flux in it means it can't be reworked as easily, also the high temperatures can lead to damage of the components(!) 
|
|

Yep - but you got that with leaded if you held the iron on diodes for too long.
|
|
|
|
|
But it was a case of face/palm interface do it again, stupidly these days it looks soldered (not as shiny as leaded) will it work, plus less bad words were used in construction to encourage the melting of the solder!

In fairness you are not alone; open any newspaper or magazine these days and see how many such abominations you find.

It was referring to itself, Shirley?
Given that the bourgeoisie can't spell, I'd say it was pretty appropriate.

You can imagine the religious debates in a couple of million years when whatever intelligent beings roam this planet discover the fossilised remains and argue over their origins.

I can image the conversation; Last week a thing called a hot pocket and then this week this...what next?

It would have made a neat explosion if the can had not been opened. I've seen that happen on a construction site in the winter where a guy left his can warming on an excavator engine for too long.
|
|
|
|
|
I want to know what the can's label was made of. I'll use it to fireproof my house.

I was thinking it lasted a good 30 seconds longer than I expected.

Off hand I would have though the can would have started to melt, but I suppose the outer layer had cooled enough so it didn't... still would have been cooler if he left it sealed
